Instructions
- Warm your oven to exactly 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with cooking spray or butter.

- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup biscuit mix with ½ cup milk and 2 tablespoons melted butter until the consistency becomes uniform.
- Gently pour the biscuit topping over the chicken mixture, allowing it to settle naturally without stirring.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 5-7 minutes to set and cool slightly.
- Optional: Dust the top with paprika or freshly chopped parsley before serving. Sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
Notes
- Swap frozen vegetables with fresh seasonal produce for a more vibrant flavor profile and added nutrition.
